STABILIZER non vEnIoLEs,

Application filed September 16, 1324. Serial No. 737,984.

T all to ham it may concern Be it known that I, STANLEY XV NELSON,

a citizen of the United States, residing at 2324 24th St, in the city and'county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Stabilizerfor Vehicles, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art toconstruct anduse the 'hicle body will itself aid inpreventing undue body movement's thereby making the car r rideeasicr. i

Another objectof the invention is to pro videj means whereby the tendency to move differently of all four-corners ofthe vehicle frame may beequalized and coordinated.

Other objects of the invention will appear as thedescription proceeds.

An embodiment of the invent1on is shown in the accompanying drawings in which the a same reference numeral is applied to the I same portion throughout but I am; aware that there maybe modifications thereof Figure 1 isa side elevation of the vehicle aides and frame with this equalizer applied thereto. a

' Figure 2 is a front elevationof one of the vehicle axles and the vehicle frame showing the stabilizer applied.

Figure 3 is a side elevation'of one of the stabilizers, and Figure 4 is aview in elevation of one of the stabilizers looking a't'rlght 46 angles to Figure 3.

, The stabilizer has been shown appliedv to a vehicle liavingplainaxles front andback, but it is, of course, ecp1ally applicable to the regular motor'car with a live rear axle. -v

In the drawingsthe axlesare shownat l and 2, thesprings at 3 to 6' inclusive, said springs being connected to the-axles and to the rectangular vehlcl'eframe 7 1n any well known manner,

my hand this One of these equalizer members is secured over each spring and each one consistsof a bracket plate 8 with two depending lugs 9 l and 10 to be secured to the under side of the vehicle frame, four links ll-to l4 and a plate 15 with two lugs 16 and 17.

There is also a rectangular frame consist? I ing of two longitudinal bars 19, 20, and two bars 21, 22 which latter'bars are connected 1 1 to the longitudinal bars'at points over each spring.

arranged to pass th'rough thev axis of the rods 19 to 22.- a V V The links are connected to'the axle and frame brackets by the pivot pins '28, 29, the

resulting structure representingfour differ-[p ent stabilizer member's pivoted to the'frame .andaxlein four places each' -iii pairs, and each member isin turn more or less controlled by the other through the rods 19 to22. 1 In use the car frame approaches and"rece'des fromthe carjaxle as it passes over inequalities in theroad. This causes the links 24 to 27 inclusive to slide along the rods 19 to 22 inclusive,- and the frictional resistance to such movement is-sufiicient to cause the car body movement to be much less rapid and smoother than when travelling'over the same road with no means for controlling'the springs. i

It will also be appai'ent. that the several stabilizers-may be used without anyiconnection between. each. other.

lVhatfI claim is as .follows, but modifica tions may be made in 'carryin'gout the 1inventionshowniin the drawings "and in the above particularly described form-thereof,

within the purview ofthe'invention as defined by the annexed claim:

In a" vehicle stabilizer two pairs' of'con nested links, each pair being pivoted to the 1 vehicle body'and to the axle res'pectively and frictionaldneans. to control the movement of the other ends o'fthe linkswhereby the vehicle body movement may be conj trolled, and rods extendingat right angles toveach other carrying-slides to which the links are connected to control the vehicle body movementf 7 I "In testimonywhereofIhave hereunto set 5 th day of September A.
